Wireless PtMP Backhaul & Access

Optimum Network Performance!

Network Transformation Requires CostEffective Solutions… The emergence of mobile broadband and multimedia services, the recent air interface technology enhancements (LTE and LTE-A) and the introduction of highspeed hot spots intensify the backhaul requirements, especially in urban areas. Meanwhile, corporations and organizations increasingly demand dedicated capacity and high network availability for their daily operations.

…WiBAS™ is the Solution of Choice! ●●High capacity to satisfy every backhaul and access demand. ●●Significant OpEx savings compared to Point-to-Point deployment costs in urban environments. ●●Various SLA commitments (capacity/availability/QoS) for meeting corporate access requirements. ●●One-off regulator license throughout the product’s lifecycle. ●●Optimum utilization of network resources.

Best fit for

Overview WiBAS™, a carrier-grade Point-to-MultiPoint native Ethernet microwave product line, perfectly fits demanding operator backhaul and access needs. Specially designed for high-speed multi-service applications, WiBAS™ offers a wide service area footprint reaching distant underserved areas and locations lacking telecommunications infrastructure. WiBAS™ optimally addresses today’s requirements for Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) and smooth migration to Next Generation networks. With a powerful core engine and fieldproven reliability, WiBAS™ provides significant CapEx & OpEx savings to operators regarding the backhaul of their mobile (2G / 3G / LTE) networks, and opens up new horizons to reach corporate customers and boost revenue.

●● Mobile operators needing cost-effective backhaul of their 3G / LTE networks ●● Competitive service providers planning to develop business with high-end customers for offering legacy and broadband access services (telephony, Web/IP services, metro Ethernet connectivity, etc.) ●● Public sector organizations, utility companies, banks, etc. needing to deploy own resilient & backup networks in underserved areas, or in areas lacking wireline infrastructure ●● Government authorities for secure private networks (CCTV, LAN, infokiosk)

Employing today’s most advanced technologies, WiBAS™ enables a wide range of profitable business plans, providing a key differentiator of operator success. Fig. 1 depicts a WiBAS™ Base Station serving several remote sites – through all-outdoor WiBAS™ Terminal Stations – to deliver highbandwidth backhaul and access services with high availability and assured QoS. Aggregated cell traffic is delivered through GbE / STM-1 / E1 network interfaces for local add/drop, or it is conveyed remotely with Point-to-Point (PtP) Native Ethernet MW technology.

Mobile Backhaul with WiBASTM:

Corporate Access with WiBASTM:

Compared to PtP coverage for the same area, the WiBAS™ PtMP technology demonstrates considerable CapEx reductions and major OpEx savings of up to 70%.

WiBAS™ delivers the high resiliency and reliability required to fulfill demanding customer SLAs. The capability for sectors along with the rapid network deployment and high-capacity sectors enable WiBAS™ to become a successful alternative to wireline and other wireless solutions, thus realizing fast investment payback.

Ideal & Future-proof

WiBAS™ flexibly treats each radio link independently and assigns bandwidth dynamically, thus optimizing sector capacity planning and leveraging the radio resource-sharing nature of PtMP. Fast ROI comes from maximizing both sector capacity and the number of served sites or customers. Operators can thus tailor investments to match their growing subscriber base.

Unparalleled Flexibility

Branch A

Being a multi-service platform (Ethernet / TDM), WiBAS™ efficiently serves the needs of 2G and 3G mobile backhauling. Several tier-1 mobile operators, worldwide, already enjoy the benefits of WiBAS™.

Mobile Backhaul

WiBAS™ flexibly adapts to different deployment scenarios, a key feature that reduces network size. Initial investments are kept low, in line with the coverage / capacity objectives, and a pay-as-grow strategy can be applied for the expected business growth.

For enterprises and SMEs, WiBAS™ implements LAN-to-LAN / Call Center fixed wireless connections, also providing high-speed Internet access. Sophisticated packet classification, per-service prioritization and Layer 2 / Layer 3 VPNs, allow delivering Carrier Ethernet services, such as: ●● Permanent VLAN connections for geographically-dispersed branches running demanding data applications (CRM, ERP, FTP, etc.) ●● Interconnections among heterogeneous networks with QoS preservation enabling differentiated business applications (such as VoIP and data transfer services) Large enterprises are able to connect their Call Centers to provider’s voice-switched network for a fraction of incumbent’s cost. WiBAS™ easily integrates existing systems – IP PBX / Soft Switches / PSTN Gateways / Management & Billing, etc.

Assured H-QoS The WiBAS™ advanced and comprehensive hierarchical QoS mechanisms effectively address the operator requirements for a multi-service portfolio by implementing: ●● Multiple classification criteria including Ethernet, IP and MPLS QoS parameters. ●● Air service flow establishment based on VLAN and/or classification rules. ●● Data filtering, policing and shaping per air service flow. WiBAS™ provides operators the means to offer SLA assurance. Multiple services with specific information rate can easily be provisioned over a single air link. An indicative – but not limiting – scenario is presented in Table 1.

The previous generations of WiBAS™ product family (split-mount radios) are now replaced by the all-new OSDR platform. Standing for Outdoor Software-Defined Radio, OSDR delivers state-of-theart IP connectivity in demanding heterogeneous network (HetNet) backhaul applications. OSDR employs advanced Ethernet and traffic processing functionality to demonstrate exceptional radio performance. Depending on customer-selected software, OSDR operates as an all-outdoor PtMP base station / hub, a PtMP terminal or a PtP radio, providing at the same time perfect synergy with the other Intracom Telecom radio offerings (OmniBAS™ and StreetNode™). The OSDR platform key characteristics include:
